Magic may well have been real. Healing crystals, shamanry, witchcraft, voodoo, things of this nature may have been real at one point and have since been patched out. These could have simply been glitches in the program.
We’ve all heard of glitches in games that can be exploited that eventually get patched. Could have been real.
Nothing matters and we’re all going to die. Nobody will remember or care about anything we did. Everything that will ever exist will eventually die a cold death due to entropy. So just have fun and be nice to each other until it’s over.
This applies whether it’s a simulation or not. The end result is the same.
